That's the whole point of the passage.

We are called to "judge", but not as a HYPOCRITE.

This passage says it all. Just like the woman who was to be stoned for adultery.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

So the oldest people walked away first, because they had committed the very same sin as the adultress, and countless others.

But remember the final words: "Go and sin no more".

Jesus didn't pat the woman on the head and say: "You're cool, keep on doing what you've been doing!"

I'm sorry, but this Pope is driving me crazy.

He doesn't seem to "get" that he's appearing VERY wishy-washy when it comes to sin.

And in before I get bashed, I'm a Catholic.

But this guy is really not speaking clearly enough.

No, EVERYTHING is NOT OK.

"Who am I to judge?" sounds awesome to liberal ears.

He sounds ridiculous when he makes such statements.

I'm done trying to defend "mistranslations" or "nuances".

Other Popes didn't seem to have this problem.

“Who am I to judge” those who prefer the Latin Mass?
